summer research program poster

[hshah]

My school has a 10 week summer research program (mostly lab work) where at the end, we have to prepare and present a poster on our research to the school. Do these types of posters have value when applying for residency or do they need to be published at scientific meetings to have any value? Thanks.

Of course there is some value and is def better than nothing.

...However (and as I can tell you already know) the value is less than that of a poster at a national conference.

If you finish the 10 weeks with a viable poster there is no reason you can't submit it to a relevant national conference. Then you could add both to your CV.

It still definitely counts as a presentation, and you should list it on ERAS when you apply.
